About This Book
Twins Jeanie and Julius live with their mother Dot in rural England on the edge of poverty, their lives apparently frozen in a previous era. When Dot dies suddenly, her secrets begin to surface, threatening to tear apart the life she had built around her children. A quietly devastating novel about family, landscape, and the costs of keeping secrets.
